Helps to know what we are talking about.

 

EX6250 would be a better idea, but I assumed that AJGCJG had an R6250 lying around.

 

Just a guess on my part.

        It's simply R2650. I'm sorry I missed the R.

      yeah the R or EX was kind of important. 

      The R6250 doesn't have extender/repeater mode. Its a router that has access point/bridge mode. 

      The EX6250 is an extender and has an access point mode as well. 

      Sorry for the confusion.
